Black greenRAL ClassicvsRAL 350-3RAL EffectΔE 55.2Very different colors

Black green is a RAL Classic color while RAL 350-3 comes from RAL Effect. Black green reads as blue-green, while RAL 350-3 reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
